I'd go with McPake out to start with and have McGirven in his place with Stevenson in at LB.

Take Taiwo out for Handling, playing him at the top of midfield where he will nip your head all day long by hassling you in midfield...with his main aim to support Caldwell.

Yeah, what I think is our strongest eleven given they are fit.

A team that looks set up not to get beat?

Looks a strong team

[KWJ]

What time's k/o?

Really needs Harris and Craig on song to help out Caldwell. Feel a bit sorry for Lewis that he misses out for Jones, but he is losing out by about 2 foot!

Hope im wrong but i dont see goals from open play in that team.
But with the squad we have i dont know what i could change......worrying

Caldwells goal vs hearts told me we have a talent there. Can't think of many spl strikers that would show that composure/ talent to score that goal. Most would have just put the head down and smacked it- into the oncoming defenders.

It's early days tho obviously

Caldwell is more than capable to score goals in the SPL IMO.

Also, with Craig and Harris, we have 2 midfielders who provide a real threat themselves. I'd argue that all areas apart from upfront (which we are yet to improve) carry more of a goal threat than last year, even in defence with Mullen. Owain Tudur-Jones has a good strike on him and with Handling and Stanton moving up the ranks too, we should have a better spread of goals next year. That's without knowing what strikers we will bring in.

Can anyone tell me is the game on Hibs TV or radio anywhere?

:pfgwa

[KWJ]

Hibs are 12/5 with B365, probably better elsewhere too but this seems generous to me. Will it be Forest's first friendly or did they start before us?

[Greendub]

This is their first game, their first training session was yesterday

[KWJ]

Cheers Greendub. 12/5 does seem best price with a bookie, no complaints there. Chucked a bit on and dabbled with 5/1 Hibs HT/FT.

'Mon the Cabbage! Been a long time since I backed Hibs with my hard-earned!

Exactly! Despite knowing for weeks (if not longer) that we would not be able to keep Griffiths there seems to be no sign of any experienced striikers coming to ER. If we think relying on Caldwell is a viable option, especiallly heading into Europe, then our management is a joke quite frankly. Getting the right players in ON TIME is part of their job and they apppear to have failed. Aberdeen, DUFC and Motherwell all seem to mange it, what's our problem?

[KWJ]

Apart from an out-of-form Goodwillie what have any of the other teams done to manage it? They may have rushed and signed players that aren't good enough or don't fit in.

It'd be ideal to have someone in for Europe but it seems our top 2 targets aren't available. Even if we get someone in the next few days it may be worth sticking with Caldwell as the players are more familiar with him.

More players out of contract players will come into our price range once they aren't being offered deals from the English clubs that are only just returning and loan options are beginning to become available.

Can we keep this thread for match updates and not ruin yet another thread with chat about strikers?

Was it 2-0 Hibs Fulltime?

I've picked it up wrong, the young lads won 2-0.

[Jones28]

This'll be a decent test I think. Forrest are a decent side. Hopefully we stuff them though, on behalf of a Leicester supporting mate of mine!
